Recently we spent a weekend getting filmed for a new behind-the-scenes McClanahan Studio promo video that will drop later this year (and knock your socks off)! We wanted to use the opportunity to try some new lighting techniques and have some fun, so we brought in Miranda (one of our awesome seniors from last year) and shot a conceptual series with 1950’s props and styling. It was a blast! Hope you enjoy:

When we shot the ISU MBB poster last Fall, Melvin approached me about potentially taking some photos with his girlfriend to commemorate their time at Iowa State before they move on to their next adventure. Last weekend we were able to meet up for a quick shoot while the couple was back in Ames for Melvin’s graduation. Having photographed Melvin several times in the context of being a beast on the basketball court, it was cool to hang out with him in a softer context and to finally meet Sam!

Fro’s senior portrait session was pretty crazy – we started afternoon and photographed until dark! From the moment we first met Fro we could sense a mutual creative connection with her. As a result, we pushed things a little further and more conceptually than we have before with senior portraits. We hope you enjoy the result as much as we do
